Friedmann ANOVA and t-test was applied for analysis with software Statistics for Windows. RESULTS Progresses the gestation period significant reduction of TSH values was observed in hypothyroid patients (p=0,0075). Comparing successive TSH values of the individual patients showed the same significant difference. Significant negative correlation was founded between TSH value and thyroxin dose in group of hypothyroid patients (r= -0,35; p<0,05). Premature birth and other obstetric complications occured more frequently in the thyreotoxical group, especially among older women giving birth.
